Protective Systems Keypads

We tell our customers that if they can use a telephone, they can operate our keypads. So, don’t let the sophisticated look of the keypads displayed on this page intimidate you. Your PSI technician will make sure you feel completely confident in operating your protective system.

 

Security System KeypadHow they work

 

Much like the Control Panel is considered the “brains” of your security system, your keypad is “command central”. Keypads allow you to control and operate your protection systems. Your security system is activated when you enter a security code on your keypad. Keypads are usually located near entry doors for easy access. They can be armed or disarmed with push-button ease, making it easy to secure your home or business.

 

What to look for

 

Most keypads have the same important features and functions, but depending on your installation, you may be looking for certain features. Here are some options to consider:

  • Keypads that include illuminated keys for night-time visibility
  • Easy-to-read written displays that spell out your system’s status at a glance
  • One-touch function keys for arming, disarming or emergencies
  • Additional user codes for neighbors, employees or service people
